"The French Chamber of Commerce plays a critical role in forging partnerships and relationships across the Anglo-French business community. We greatly value our involvement in the Chamber and the opportunities it presents for networking and cultural exchange. Over the last year, I have been particularly impressed with their innovative programme of events and the quality of their speakers. As a business that provides a vital link between the UK and France, we appreciate having this forum for exchanging ideas and building relationships."
